Combined Course of Everyday Dentistry and Medications in a Nutshell

Dr. Paul Klein received his Bachelors of Science in 1969 from the University ofFlorida, his Masters in Education in 1971 from the University of Miami and his D.D.S. form Meharry Medical College in 1975. Dr. Klein has been practicing general dentistry in Boynton Beach for over 40 years. He is a member and a Fellow of both the Academy of General Dentistry and American College of Dentists. He has served four times as President of the Atlantic Coast Dental Research Clinic. Dr. Klein has lectured extensively on the subject of Cosmetic and Adhesive Dentistry for over 35 years and dental pharmacology for over 12 years. For the past 12 years, Dr. Klein has been an Adjunct Professor of Dental Pharmacology at Palm Beach State College in the Department of Dental Hygiene. The semester courses he teaches are Dental Pharmacology (for 12 year) and Medical Emergencies in the Dental Office (for 4 years).

Since stopping teaching the Everyday Dentistry Course ad few years ago, Dr. Klein has had many requests to start teaching the course again. He also feels that the Medications in a Nutshell course gives important information about the medications we use and our patients take everyday. Since it is difficult and time consuming to teach two courses, Dr. Klein has decided to offer a highlight of both subjects in one course. Dr. John Tumminia has graciously accepted chairing the afternoon clinical section, during which some of the dental materials and techniques that will be discussed in the morning Everyday Dentistry lectures can be used.

The Medications in a Nutshell lectures will cover: why our patients might be taking a particular medication, the potential drug interactions with dental medications we might prescribe, and oral manifestations associated with those medications. In this course, special attention will be given to the prescription and OTC drugs we use to manage our patients’ oral hard and soft tissue diseases, current recommendations and medications for preventing sub-acute bacterial endocarditis and orthopedic prosthesis prophylaxis and recommendations for our patient taking anti-resorptive medications.
